And that just goes to tell you how well prepared the ground crew was and how much trust astronauts put in their ground crew to just do what comes over the radio in that moment - BEFORE questioning what that actually does.
I think one astronaut paniced in this critical situation and another one found the right button. It's not mentioned here tough. Teamwork that counts :)
Apollo 11 and 13 have gotten all the attention and glory over the years - but every other Apollo mission was just as much of an amazing technical achievement. The lightening strikes this mission endured underscored just some of the unexpected hazards that could have caused a catastrophe - but were overcome by the skill and dedication of the flight crew and all their support crews on the ground. Well done all.
I think the astronaut who sat at the button actually paniced and another one found it and pushed it. But yes, it's amazing how mentally strong they all are generally
Same reason I'm here viewing. Redundancy saves lives. Tests save lives. No unnecessary risks needed. This hit hard after Destin's talk with NASA. I hope to see us do crazy cool things in the future of space exploration and transportation with new technologies making their way in to the field. Incremental calculated steps.
Simply AWESOME. Good Job John Aaron was on the ball. They could well have been screwed. It is always much easier and quicker to sort shit out, IF you understand the stuff properly. My old fella was a Pit Electrician, working underground on bigish multi KV three phase shit, and pretty complicated control panels. Anything he wasn't comfortably familiar with, and by familiar I mean a total understanding and the capability to be able to redraw drawings, or portions of drawings, out of his head, he would make it his business to learn. I grew up with our toilet wall always having a big A0 electrical wiring digram pinned on it. He would work on small portions of the drawing, once he understood it totally, and commit the drawing to memory. Then replace it with another. They were to me of course just big maps of squiggles then, when I was a kid. But he always used to say, it is OK understanding things, and having things in books, and data sheets. It is another thing entirely to have it all up there, and be able to draw on it as needed. Damn good job Alan didn't have to go seeking out books and procedure diagrams. Nice one Mr Aaron. Nice one indeed.
@@TheReaverOfDarkness the weather was not considered excellent for the launch. They said if there was any lightning they’d abort, but it was only raining prior to launch. The rocket probably triggered the lightning during flight. Bad weather is never ideal for a launch.
Lightning : oh there is human trying to get the Moon lets me give you a little boost Apollo 12 : the power failed Human : bruh Human 2 : land on water before crashed Lightning : oh woops sorry
I understand your young so you assumed growing up that the space shuttle missions went to the moon; When in fact they only went to the ISS to conduct research. We haven't been to the moon since the 70s my friend

Neil Armstrong?
@@cyantechnician7823 Yeah
ok
Because their mission was not nearly as perfect as apollo 11 :)
John Aaron gave the phrase “steely eyed missile man” a whole new meaning.

Thanks for this fantastic rewind!
This is beautiful😭
It was a horrible choice to launch rockets under horrible weather conditions.
Thankfully the Saturn V rocket wasn't effected by the lighting , beast of a rocket and one of a kind !
Actually, the weather was considered excellent for rocket flight at the time. The comfort of the crowd of onlookers was not a priority.

In another video I heard them say it was chosen because the president was on the spot and they wanted to deliver
amazing story, i hope this is adapted into a film one day
What is the name of the song played when it displayed Apollo 12 accomplishments?
"It rang like a bell".
Lightning : oh there is human trying to get the Moon lets me give you a little boost
Apollo 12 : the power failed
Human : bruh
Human 2 : land on water before crashed
Lightning : oh woops sorry
1:30 He just space-roasted Neil though.
I thought he was roasting himself, because Neil was such a big guy he called it a little step when it was a pretty big step.
00:49 why didn't they use phonetic alphabet?? To avoid the inevitable: Fce u say ? fec ! SEC?? Noo!!! FSC 😂
rip them, they did great success.
